The Dialogue (https://thedialogue.co) welcomes the opportunity by MEITY to engage all stakeholders in the consultation for the Summit and we look forward to collaborating more closely with the government in bringing these impactful initiatives to fruition.

Our ideas have been structured in two ways: 1. Ideas in the run-up to the Summit 2. Ideas as part of the main Summit. Further, our ideas have been shaped with multistakeholderism, India’s unique global position, and strategic soft power in mind, while offering tangible international value. Kindly refer to the attached document for detailed inputs. We would be happy to connect with MEITY to discuss this further and elaborate on our participation in the execution of these ideas.

The Future of Privacy Forum is a global non-profit organization that serves as a catalyst for privacy leadership and scholarship for advancing principled and pragmatic data practices in
support of emerging technologies (see: https://fpf.org/global/india/). We offer these 3 themes, around which Summit activities may be organized:

(1) Building Safe and Trusted AI through Privacy Enhancing Technologies: Discussions could examine the need for R&D, standardization, and adoption of PETs.
(2) Internal Governance for Adopting AI: Discussions could examine building public-private alignment on AI governance tools, such as impact assessments.
(3) Safety and Governance for AI Agents and other Emerging Paradigms: Discussions could examine a balanced and adaptive approach to risk management for new paradigms, like AI agents.

We would be happy to connect with MeitY to discuss further, answer any questions, explore knowledge-sharing opportunities, or be of further assistance as needed.

Legal Domain is one area where Gen AI can be used to increase the operational efficiency of the Legal System . Huge Back log of cases can be reduced to a large extent . I am one of the co founders of Start Up Intellect US AI Labs at B "lore . We have developed few use cases . Plans to scale up the application . A ONE PAGER of what we have developed is attached with this comment . Would like this area as one of the Tracks in the Conference.
